Adventure. Drama Inspired by a true story set in 1909 in Greenland, this is the story of two women, the kind inuit Allaka (Rinko Kikuchi) and high-class Josephine Peary (Juliette Binoche) who wants to join her husband, explorer Robert Peary, and share with him the glory of discovering the North Pole.

	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Coixet’s portrait (...) is dramatically as pallid and lifeless as the frozen tundra on which it takes place, burdened with a hokey romanticism that doesn’t complement its quasi-feminist purview"	NEG
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Though Coixet often overreaches as she tries to imbue the story with a sense of epic grandeur, there are infrequent, more intimate moments that work because the actors share a convincing complicity"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"On paper, Nobody Wants The Night should be bold and dramatic - but there is an awful wishy-washiness to it. Juliette Binoche’s natural star quality drives the film earnestly onward (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Jessica Kiang IndieWire	"A film that falls exactly in the blind spot between 'mediocre' and 'outright bad' (...) Whenever it threatens to find its way, it pretty soon loses it again"	NEG
United Kingdom	Mark Adams Screendaily	"'Nobody Wants The Night' has appropriate style and panache, but this frosty film lacks a much-needed dash of dramatic fire"	NEU
